This study is based on 15 cases examined by the author. The majority of the infants were found in a prone position. Thymus was enlarged in all cases. Its enlargement of the lower portion overlying the basal portion of the heart formed an unyielding, tense membrane. In prone position, the heavy ventricles fell forward, producing angulation and kinking against this membrane and inhibited the filling of the heart or irritated the heart, producing arrhythmia and cardiac arrest.
本研究基于作者所检查的15例病例。大多数婴儿被发现处于俯卧位。所有病例中胸腺均增大。其覆盖心脏底部的下部增大形成了一层坚硬、紧绷的膜。在俯卧位时，沉重的心室向前下垂，与该膜产生成角和扭结，抑制心脏充盈或刺激心脏，导致心律失常和心脏骤停。
